Chapter 431

So that was it. No wonder Qing Yuanyuan’s attitude had changed so drastically; she had been scared out of her wits and hadn't fully recovered yet. That made sense—most ordinary people had never encountered secret agents or faced life-and-death situations. It would be strange if she didn’t change at all after such an experience. "But why can’t Comrade Qing stay at the guesthouse? Isn't the military guesthouse safe enough?" Although she sympathized with Qing Yuanyuan’s ordeal, she still felt uneasy having a stranger suddenly living in her home. If it weren't for the fact that Zhou Jiming was such a close brother to Ling Zihan, and that Ling Zihan himself seemed to tacitly approve, she certainly wouldn't have agreed. Ling Zihan replied, "Although the staff at the military guesthouse have all been vetted, outsiders can still get in. It's better to be careful. That’s exactly why the military made a special exception for Comrade Qing to stay in the family compound temporarily, though she is not allowed to leave the premises."
